Hello Ben, Apart from the interest in birds, Werner Herzog was one of the reasons I picked up this book. As a filmmaker(mainly working on wildlife, but a lover of all kinds of cinema) & this book is a must-read for the craft. Here's I think why-
1.Observe- Great impeccable observations of daily life of a Peregrine. Even while it looks like nothing happens- there's a lot happening. If you observe.
2. Level of detail- Observations are very very detailed, the level of detail goes down to the very tiny things too.
3. Become your film- This is a story of a man that becomes the bird he's following- you become what you're hunting, on film terms- you become your film.
In addition to how I relate to this film, I found this quote from Herzog himself-
“He has completely entered into the existence of a falcon. And this is what I do, when I make a film, I step outside of myself into an ekstasis.”
Thanks very much,
Best
